General Instructions
The fixing rails need to be securely screw fastened to
the structure. Insulation may be inserted between
the rails to increase the acoustic performance if
required . To increase the thickness of the cavity,
timber battens of appropriate thickness will need to
installed first.
For Murano panels installed horizontally, start from
the lowest panel and work upwards.
MURANO GROOVED ACOUSTIC PANELS— Demountable Fixing System
1. DEMOUNTABLE METHOD: Murano grooved
acoustic panels have an MDF core, laminated,
veneered or finished to suit. They are supplied as
tongue and grooved “planks” in widths of 197, 293
and 581mm , up to 2400mm long. The installation
system described here allows for a fastener-free,
demountable and re-usable wall finish, with virtually
undetectable horizontal joints.
ACOUSTICS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SHEET 1
1. Install Fixing Rail to surface at 600mm centres
2. Position and fix the first panel
3. Install subsequent tongue and grooved panels and
secure with Fixing Clips as shown at left
Securing Fixing Clips
The clip lugs are pushed into the u-shaped fixing
rails and rotated as shown below, until they “click”
into position. They can then be slid down the rail to
retain and hold the panel as shown in diags. 2 and 3
opposite.

ACOUSTICS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SHEET 2
MURANO PERFORATED ACOUSTIC PANELS— Split batten Fixing System
TO MAXIMISE ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE: Install to
existing walls by FIRST fixing timber battens (of the
required thickness), spaced at 600mm centres, over the
area to be clad. The split battens are then fixed in place to
create an air space between the panels and the wall as
shown in Fig. 1. Fibrous insulation is then fitted between
the battens as an acoustic absorber., prior to installing the
SUPREMO panels. Refer to Murano product brochure or
website for information on sound absorption with and
without insulation.
Murano Timber Panels are available in a range of
perforated and slotted patterns. These can be utilized as a
stylish sound absorbing wall treatment (insulation infill is
required, see below and Fig 2), or simply as a decorative
cladding. In both cases, the use of Murano aluminium split
battens allows for an easily demountable wall cladding
system.
